Default M&H drag radials

Does anyone no if the 390/40R17 M&H Drag Radial will fit on 17X11 1/2 Grand Sport Vette Wheels? Also will they fit underneath a 99 TA when they are mounted? My friend is already running these rims on his 99 TA and is looking for a new drag radial. Any help please.

That tire size doesn't exist. 315's put 35% of the over all tire on the sidewalls, and you're saying a 390mm tire will put 40%? I don't think so. I'm willing to bet your friend has 315's, maybe 335's, but definitely not a 390. I don't want to sound rude, but you need to be looking for a 315/35/17 or a 335/35/17

I really do think they make a 390, the RPM TBSS is running it I think.

this is the tire i am REALLY thinking of running on my 17x11's as well. i would LOVE to see some pics of these tires on a TA. these are the 325/45/17 (only 28" tall). i think this is the tire you need to run, you would have to do some trimming to make a 29.5" tire fit

I believe it was GM high tech performance did an article on a cammed ls7 in an 98-02 fbody i forget the year, but they said they were pulling the front end up just as high with m&h 335/35s as they were once they mounted 28" hoosier slicks.

I stand corrected, I couldn't find the tire at all, nowhere even went up to a 390mm tire. Still not fitting under a TA tho!
